can someone please help me ID this Sansevieria?
i already forgot where i got it from, but there was never tag anyway.

the longest leaf is about 10" long and each leaf is about 1" in diameter.

it hasn't flowered so far, though it has grown a lot since i got it.

the scotch tape is there just for size reference.

thanks!

hi Helli!

you're absolutely right. it does look like s. downsii. i've been trying to ID this one for a while now and i've seen many pics of s. downsii and just never made the connection... oh well, sometimes it just takes a different perspective.

thanks so much!

Bri.

Often these plants can't be ID'd until they have mature leaves. This may take 3-5 years or more. There are several others that look like this: S.hargesia,S.caulesncens,
I can't tell them apart unless I put them side by side. Patens' start out like this, so does 'KoKo Crater' (now 'Ed Eby) So who else whats to help out. Norma
